    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Get you all with your American trash :rotfl:.

    Enid Blyton all the way here, Secret 7 and Famous 5.

    Lashings of ginger beer anyone :beer:?
    I know I'm a little late (pls excuse me as been feeling under the weather last few days) but another vote here for the Enid Blyton corner. :T
    Like US & GG I also read all of her works. My favourites were the Magic Faraway Tree books and the Magic Wishing Chair. Read them all soooo many times when I was younger.

    Sorry for de-lurking to crash your thread Tilly

  • Evening, goodness you've all been busy today :rotfl:

    Greent, I hope GG has opened the bar - I'll jump in the car

    Dark cloud has shifted slightly :)

    It's quite interesting as Mr T has completely started his CV from scratch and it's made him realise the transferable skills he has for other industries which has been a positive step for him. If he earns less than before then that's no issue? If he ends up earning the same or more then there will be a change to the OPs with an accelerated MF date.

    We have things in mind to achieve - don't panic I'm not in planning mode as this is under Mr Ts control :T
